The 2000 Guineas winner Haafhd is to be retired to stud after a glittering racing career. The three-year-old also won this year the Craven Stakes and, at Newmarket on Saturday, the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes.

His owner, Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, revealed that Haafhd will spend next year at the Shadwell Stud. He is a homebred son of Sheikh Hamdan's former champion two-year-old Alhaarth and classic-winning miler Al Bahathri.
